Böcker av Kenneth McGaffey

When young and naive Joan Fairleigh arrives in New York City to pursue a career on the stage, she quickly learns the harsh realities of show business. From predatory producers to lecherous co-stars, Joan faces challenges that would weaken the strongest of spirits. But despite the sorrows and setbacks, she never loses sight of her dream, and ultimately finds a kind of fulfillment that only comes from following one's heart.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.This work is in the "public domain in the United States of America, and possibly other nations.

Some of Sabrina's comments in the book are likely to make the reader raise his eyebrows in skepticism about her true nature. She wants to declare that she is everything that she should be in order to make things right with the general public as well as the large army of Sabrina's who give youth and beauty to our stage as well as brilliancy and gaiety to their well-known cafés. She is a young lady who does not seem her age, despite the fact that she is. She always has superb taste and always dresses nicely, albeit a little ahead of the trends. She behaves admirably among strangers or in public, but when around people from her own group, she feels more comfortable and may occasionally use slang. She could be forced by fate to support herself, or she might get money from somewhere unrelated to these stories. Sabrina views everybody outside the theatrical or journalism world as an outsider, and she treats them as such. The cafés and restaurants of the "wiseacres" known as the "Tenderloin" are where you can find hundreds of people much like her any evening after the theatre.
